Over The Years

She was 16 and he was 20,
When they first met that fateful day,
He was the first one she opened her heart,
The one that really made her smile,
The one that really made her cry,
The one that she still loves all the while
Although things have changed through the time
And space that comes in our lives,
He was the first one her mom ever saw
Her daughter with for a long time,
He was the one that she wanted to first spend
Her life with although she didn't know
As much about love as she does now,
He was the one that she had to be
Friends with even if other things
Didn't work out because not having him
In her life was worse than having him
In her life and the pain that endured through,
He was the one that was there for her
When other relationships ended fast
And when her heart felt so broken
That she didn't know how she would last,
And how he was there for her
When the rain seemed to go on forever
And the sun would never shine again.
Over the years it never seemed to matter
How many times they were together or apart,
Or when they would not get along and be fine the next,
They always seemed to find a way back
And back to the friendship they both knew
And held onto dearly as the world around them,
Seemed to fall down in front of their eyes.
Now she's 24 and he's 28
And the years have seemed to have gone so quickly,
Over the years they have been friends,
Lovers,
And not even on speaking terms,
But in their hearts they are there for each other
And will be there until the time of life passes by forever,
And over the years you will see
Just how much he has meant to her,
And how she has meant to him.
